    Lights have been flickering and the power went earlier for a short time.
    It is a storm, to be fair.

    In D24.

    Flikkers are not bound by the constraints of time.

    It wasnt just the power. My phone and the radio in the automobile were on the blink all day.

    The power went during the match last night :mad:

    All the electricity flickered three times last night, teles, laptop chargers, lights etc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,462 ✭✭✭MaybeLogic


    I wonder if it's anything to do with those weird Alien craft I spotted, while out walking the dog last night?

    Yep, it was happening in West Galway city yesterday. It wasn't massively windy here either.

    I wonder if it has anything to do with that massive eff-off solar flare from a couple of weeks ago?

    Bonito, I think your friend in keyaaavan has an overactive exaggeration gland. Snowing since 7 on Sunday, yes, 5 feet of snow? Eh, no.

    Flickering all evening, and the electrickery was missing for about 3 hours, between 5 and 8.

    Stupid house needs electric for everything. Oven, kettle, fireplace, even the gas central heating needs it. Was ruddy cold for a bit. And hungry.

    Lucan here. Lights flickered all night. I thought it was my eyes for a while. It eventually drove me to bed and even there I couldn't do my puzzle in peace.

    At least I'm glad it's not my eyes.

    Maybe its those weird alien wizards that turns all celebrities into sex addicts coming back to work their magic Grainne, Sharon and Twink!!

    Ah, finally!!!

    I knew it flickered a few times last night - I noticed it, and asked the other half if she saw it too - and shes' like "what flicker?". I was starting to wonder if I have some strange condition where my eyelids closing/twitching involuntarily, and I was starting to get worried about it..!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,148 ✭✭✭plein de force


    yeah it was happening for a while from about 8pm onwards, became really annoying


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,216 ✭✭✭oneweb


    I thought the desk lamp was about to blow a bulb, it was flickering for ages and quite frequently around midnight last night in D1.

    Not good for electronics at all at all (brownouts) :(

    It is what it's.

    I noticed my lights flickering the odd time last night and this morning too and I live in an apartment block in Dublin. I thought it was perhaps my lights in the living room but I noticed the same thing in the bedroom and bathroom.

    I think it's pretty normal in stormy weather. I just wish the weather would get better.

    Was flickering all evening (from about 7:30pm) here in Rathmines
